Doula Support
A well-trained doula knows when to step in and offer physical support, encouraging words, and helpful suggestions. But she also knows when to step back, when to hold space, and when to offer a silent prayer.
As your doula, I’ll offer hands-on support with a variety of different comfort measures to help you manage labor pain with confidence and to remind you that every wave brings you closer to meeting your sweet baby. Depending on how labor is progressing, I will offer position changes that encourage baby to descend and that will help your body cope while also advancing labor.
I’m not there to replace your partner. If your birth partner wants to be an active participant during your labor, I’ll show them how best they can support you, then step back and allow you two space, while checking in and giving suggestions when needed.
Throughout your labor, I’ll provide you with continuous emotional support by offering encouragement, reassurance, and a calming presence. Whether it’s a grounding touch, rhythmic breathing, or a prayer, I’ll be right there with you as you move through the beautiful and powerful transition of bringing your baby from your womb into the world.
I’ll also be there to provide you with educational and informational support. Labor can be intense, and often times, when you’re faced with an intervention being pushed on you, it can be hard to think clearly and make quick decisions in the heat of it all. As you’re doula, I will bring a clear head into your birth space so that I can process the information your provider is giving you and be able to explain what the intervention is, educate you on your options, and be sure your decisions are heard and respected. I don’t make decisions for you; but I’ll be there to slow things down and clearly communicate what is being presented to you so that you can make an informed decision.
I am passionate about providing you with the support you need to have your desired birth experience, as well as preparing you for postpartum success. I want you to be able to avoid unnecessary interventions by ensuring that you are well educated and informed of your choices throughout your pregnancy, labor, and birth.
Whether you’re a first time mom, a VBAC, IVF momma, or this isn’t your first rodeo, we’ll work together to achieve the birth that you desire! And whether you’re birthing at home, a birth center, or in the hospital, I’ll be your grounding support throughout the entire journey.
It’s a privilege to be someone in your birth space that you can look to for answers, comfort, or support; and I look forward to the honor of getting to support you through this beautiful and miraculous time!
